PSYCHIC SENSIBILITY

By Effie Halsey

“FOR The Things That Are Seen Are Temporal; But The Things Which Are Not Seen Are Eternal.”

A CLAIRVOYANT vision closely resembles a mirage at sea, and is transparent. Figures, symbols and objects of all kinds flash out of the ether and assume the aspect of reality. Apparently they are visible only to psychic eyes and represent the possibilities of abodes not made with hands. I have thrust my fingers through them only to find nothing there.

Just what unseen mechanism is used to throw these moving pictures upon the retina of my eyes I am curious to know. They are, of course, directed by some unseen intelligence as they never miss their mark and are beyond the human scope of consciousness and ability.

When I was ten years old, I beheld my grandfather sitting in his accustomed chair two days after his funeral. There came first, a tremendous flash of light, which cleared away quickly, changing momentarily the quality of the air. Then I saw him. It is many years ago, but still I recall the sensation of shock upon realizing that he was transparent. Children accept things unquestioningly, and, I rushed to tell my family. Apparently it would have been more normal to confess to a crime, and I never spoke of my vision again. I saw him very often after that and would sometimes amuse myself by running right through him; on the tennis court, I would step through his body and it seemed impossible that the others could not see him also.

In retrospect I still agonize over the denseness of persons who in smug superiority ignore these beautiful demonstrations. For as long as I can remember I have been clairvoyant, but when asked how to develop it, I would simply say, “Stop, look and listen. Concentrate your attention, and the rest is done for you.”

I should judge that the desire to develop psychic vision, would be a proof that one was developing it. The attitude of mind most conducive to progress along these lines is an attentive expectancy, as at a play. Reserve all criticism until the performance is over and do not attempt to direct the actors. This wonderful panorama is not forced upon you, but it is there to take or leave. There is no loss of will power, as each psychic must determine the character
